It was a warm April afternoon in 2019. The traffic was unusually insane, Google Maps re-routed us and added 20 min to the drive and the youngest pooped when we were sitting in traffic, so we had to pull over to change his diaper in a random parking lot in the back of my SUV. […]

It was worth the 45 min one-way-full-of-traffic-drive where my kids were less than pleasant to open the car doors to breathtaking blooming fruit trees in Orchard Park in Hilsboro, OR. It was too close to dinner time, the oldest didn’t comply with my wardrobe suggestions, and the youngest fell in some mud in the middle […]

These are images from our sledding adventures on Mt. Hood last winter (2019). Noah was so little and maybe his snow suit was a taddddd small. Oops. The weather was incredible – almost warm enough that the snow was melting into slushie snow. We sledded to our hearts content. Noah LOVED it haha. They boys […]

The weather was a little questionable at first as I arrived at the Seabold’s family beach house. A special place they’ve come to for the last 30 years to enjoy life, celebrate milestones, get away for some R & R, etc… Now the (big) kids are bringing their kids! When they asked me to do […]

This year we moved the Fall Mini Sessions from our usual location at Sunny Day Tree Farm to Gabriel Park in SW Portland on a different day (for a host of reasons). Glad we did, because the weather was better and we had some pretty fall foliage colors to work with! Our family loves Gabriel […]

So maybe I’m writing this a year later, but alas, it’s documented! We started a new annual back to school tradition of going on an apple picking date together at the local “short orchard” about 15 min from us. (You can view the 2nd Annual Apple Picking Date here.) They grow our favorite Honey Crisp […]

It was our second annual “Back to school apple picking adventure date” prior to school actually starting (Labor Day weekend). We have a favorite cute little “short orchard” (Bells Orchard) about 15 min from us that we pick our very favorite Honey Crisp apples (b/c if it’s not honey crisp, is it even an apple?!) […]
